Help us improve the library

All of us who work at the University Library want you to have a pleasurable experience using our search systems, when visiting our library or when you use our other services. To accomplish this we need your help!

Published on 13 November 2017

The University Library is responsible for most of the search systems that you use when searching for books or other materials. To be able to develop these systems, and other services, we are looking for people to volunteer for a test panel.

The panel is open to everyone, whether you are a student or staff at the university or not, you are welcome to join. You do not need to have a library account or frequently visit our library or use our services. We strive to work against discrimination in our services so we wish to recruit a panel that is as diverse as possible.

When we will do a user text we send out an invitation to the panel, and you can decide if you want to participate or not. If you participate in a test you will receive two cinema tickets as a compensation.

During the autumn term we will conduct usability testing on the communal website for all of the libraries at Lund university , and als do an accessibility test of the signage in the University library.

During winter and spring we will also begin usability testing on what will eventually become our new library catalogue, LUBcat.
